Laser Scanning Jobs in Virginia (NOW HIRING)

Geomatics Technician II (Reality Capture Data Processing & Scan-to-BIM)

About Ayoroa | Simmons

Ayoroa | Simmons, LLC is a specialized professional services firm focused on 3D laser scanning, scan-to-BIM, and BIM coordination for complex facilities and infrastructure. We partner with Government and private-sector clients to create accurate digital representations of the built environment that support better planning, operations, and decision-making.

We are seeking a Geomatics Technician II to take independent ownership of point cloud processing and scan-to-BIM modeling within our growing Reality Capture Department.

Position Overview

This role builds directly on the Geomatics Technician I foundation - independent registration, QC, and processing proficiency - and extends it into full ownership of scan-to-BIM modeling and CAD integration. The Geomatics Technician II works with minimal oversight on standard production work, and brings technical judgment and documentation discipline to more complex, multi-scan projects.

Key Responsibilities

Point Cloud Processing & Scan-to-BIM (primary focus)

• Independently process and QA/QC point cloud data from terrestrial, mobile, and aerial capture sources
• Perform scan-to-BIM modeling in Revit, Navisworks, or equivalent software
• Integrate reality capture data with CAD deliverables in Revit, Civil 3D, MicroStation, or similar
• Register and align multi-scan datasets to project control independently, resolving registration issues without senior escalation
  

Data & Workflow Automation

• Identify and implement automation opportunities across processing and scan-to-BIM workflows
• Set and maintain file organization and delivery standards for projects you own
• Strengthen documentation practices so your processing and modeling decisions are traceable and repeatable by others on the team

Field Support

• Support terrestrial 3D laser scanning, control surveys, and existing-conditions surveys as needed
• Coordinate field activities with internal teams and project stakeholders to support accuracy and schedule alignment
• Complete a 30-Hour OSHA Construction Industry training course within 90 days of joining the geospatial team

Team Contribution

• Support junior technical staff with processing questions as they build toward independent proficiency
• Additional strategic assignments as assigned by executive leadership

Success Profile

Success in this role looks like demonstrated independent ownership of point cloud processing and scan-to-BIM modeling on standard and moderately complex projects, evidenced by clean QA/QC outcomes, proactive communication on data issues, and documentation clear enough for another team member to pick up the work.

Qualifications

Required:

• Demonstrated proficiency in terrestrial LiDAR capture and processing projects
• B.S. in engineering, geomatics, or a related technical field is the priority qualification; demonstrated equivalent experience is an accepted substitute
• Independent experience with point cloud registration and processing (e.g., Leica Register360, Cyclone, NavVis Ivion)
• Proficiency with scan-to-BIM modeling software (Revit, Navisworks, or equivalent)
• Strong documentation habits and QA/QC discipline
• Valid driver's license
• Comfortable with occasional fieldwork and travel (up to 50%)

Preferred:

• ASPRS certification pursuit (e.g., Certified Mapping Technician)
• Experience with cross-software workflows (e.g., Revit, TopoDOT, Cyclone 3DR)
• Exposure to UAV-based imaging or LiDAR data workflows
• EIT certification or equivalent technical credential
